Together, and separately, black and white Baptists created
different but intertwined cultures that profoundly shaped the
South. Adopting a biracial and bicultural focus, Paul Harvey works
to redefine southern religious history, and by extension southern
culture, as the product of such interaction--the result of whites
and blacks having drawn from and influenced each other even while
remaining separate and distinct. Harvey explores the parallels and
divergences of black and white religious institutions as manifested
through differences in worship styles, sacred music, and political
agendas. He examines the relationship of broad social phenomena
like progressivism and modernization to the development of southern
religion, focusing on the clash between rural southern folk
religious expression and models of spirituality drawn from northern
Victorian standards. In tracing the growth of Baptist churches from
small outposts of radically democratic plain-folk religion in the
mid-eighteenth century to conservative and culturally dominant
institutions in the twentieth century, Harvey explores one of the
most impressive evolutions of American religious and cultural
history. |Together, and separately, black and white Baptists
